Fall 2019 10-week classes
These classes form the backbone of the Community Guitar program, offering participants the opportunity to build technical skills, repertoire and relationships all in one spot. We meet weekly for 90 minutes, usually taking on 4 songs per 10-week session. We generally work in one major key -- and perhaps its relative minor -- the whole time. This fall we'll be working in the key of E.
The exact mix of classes/levels is determined in large part by the abilities and interests of the participating students, but what you see in the table below is what I'm proposing for the fall. The class levels break down roughly as follows:
If you know where you belong, great -- just let me know what class you'd like to join. If you are considering joining one of these study groups for the first time, please get in touch as early as possible so we can find the best group for you to work with and make sure you're ready. You can reach me in either of these ways:

If you are totally new to the "CAGED System", please have a look at the CAGED Primer you can find on this page of Resource Sheets for Community Guitar students.
